The new ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film is sending fans into a frenzy.
Disney does it again! After 23 years, the animated film is coming to life. The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch released its official trailer on March 12 and is taking the internet by storm. The highly anticipated film will be released only in theaters May 23.
The glimpse at director Dean Fleischer Camp‘s adaptation of Lilo & Stitch gave fans a dose of nostalgia while teasing a fun film about the power of family. The trailer begins the same way as the original when Stitch (Chris Sanders), an experimental alien creature, goes rogue, escaping his cage, stealing a spaceship and crash-landing in Hawaii.
Lilo (Maia Kealoha) finds Stitch in an animal shelter, granting her wish of having a best friend. The trailer then breaks into a montage of Stitch’s unhinged behavior—causing car accidents, chasing chickens and slamming the fridge door in older sister Nani’s (Sydney Agudong) face. The aliens Stitch escaped from are still on the hunt to bring him back and take him away from his newfound family.
And, of course, the trailer references the original film’s motto: “Ohana means family.
